I've just installed a new Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 5000 and it's X/Y calibration/alignment seems to be off.

If I move the mouse from left to right, the cursor will go up and down slightly. If I move the mouse from top to bottom, the cursor will also move from left to right slightly too.

I seem to remember in earlier version of Windows or Intelli Point, there was a calibration tool which would fix this issue.

Can anyone help?

Many Thanks Stephen
